Firefighter Pamela Beamish helps Cole Beamish sneak in a quick douse of his unsuspecting dad, Captain Mike Beamish of the Clavet Volunteer Fire Department at their Open House on October 15. The main event was a big reveal of the department’s new fire truck. After formalities, kids lined up outside for their turn to grab the hose and help put a small fire out, before firefighters extinguished two car fires in a demonstration.

Trusted. Reliable. Relevant. The Clark’s Crossing Gazette provides vital information links for readers with important news and events happening in their communities on a consistent weekly basis in print and online as news breaks. No other news outlet or media company covers this area of Saskatchewan – including the province’s two newest cities and fastest growing centres (Martensville and Warman) – as well as we do. Major media outlets, including daily newspapers and electronic media, only report on news in this area when it is convenient for them. However, the Gazette reports hyper-local information regularly. Whether it is a municipal council meeting, a charitable fundraiser or a high school football game, we are there to bring the information to those who weren’t. Our company believes in providing the widest range of news and information to readers while ensuring advertisers receive the most competitive rates in the market. On top of that, • AMATEUR & PROFESSIONAL SPORTS • our newspaper is published utilizing environmen• MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS • CRIME • tally-friendly ultra-violet inks, resulting in crisp im• EDUCATION • ENTERTAINMENT • ages along with vibrant, true colours with no ink • FAMILY & LIFESTYLES • POLITICS • left behind on the hands of our readers.

Power in print “Social media is all my business needs.” The reality is your newspaper ads in the Clark’s Crossing Gazette will hold a customer’s attention much longer than social media, thereby making your ad much more effective. Ever intended to do one thing online and suddenly it’s two hours later and you still haven’t done it? Have you ever seen something interesting on social media earlier in the day and then gone back to find it that evening but it’s nowhere to be found? That’s why weekly newspapers like the Gazette have an enduring shelf life for the whole week. Each issue of the Gazette is kept handy and referred to often. And the advertising is easy to find! Consider the numerous distractions consumers face while scrolling through their social media feed, either via a laptop, tablet or mobile device. They may be researching a product while at the same time checking their email and social media pages and disarming the plethora of popup ads bombarding them. When that same consumer sits down with a newspaper or magazine, they tend to give the content before them their undivided attention. No pop up ads. No blinking icons. No chimes telling you something else has just arrived. It’s just the reader and your ad having some quality time together.

“My customers see my ads more on social media.” Yes, it is true. But only your most loyal and engaged customers actually pay attention to your social media presence. What about the thousands of other customers who don’t follow or “like” you? Business is not a popularity contest. It isn’t about getting a thumbs up. It’s about finding a solutions for customers and making sales. Putting your message on social media is akin to having a customer email list. After awhile, even your best customers begin to skip past your social media ads. What about those who aren’t on social media or don’t follow you? How are you reaching them? That’s where the Clark’s Crossing Gazette can bridge that gap for you.

“All you guys do is cut down trees and hurt the environment.” All paper products are recyclable and the Clark’s Crossing Gazette is in no way harming the environment. The Gazette is printed on recycled paper using ultra violet inks that are environmentally friendly compared to traditional inks used in years gone by or “the olden days” as we like to say. The Gazette is a big proponent of recycling and actively promotes the practice to the public and also does its part by recycling anything and everything possible within its offices.

Osler manufacturing business destroyed by fire By TERRY JENSON tjenson@ccgazette.ca Damages are estimated to be well over a million dollars after fire raced through a staircase, railing and door manufacturing shop in Osler early Sunday morning, October 2. The Osler Fire Department was called to the scene just after 6:00 and found smoke pouring from the roof of the Dag-Wood Products Ltd. building in the 600 block of the Osler Service Road. Despite the early morning darkness and a layer of fog blanketing the area, it was quickly determined that assistance would be needed. Firefighters from Warman arrived on scene around 6:30 and joined in the fight to save the building. But, despite the utilization of Warman Fire Rescue’s ladder truck, the fire proved to be too hot and intense. Nearly 10 hours after firefighters first arrived on scene, all that was left of the steel clad shop was a heap of twisted metal and broken glass. Nobody was injured in the incident but MD Ambulance was on scene for a few hours as a precaution while RCMP diverted traffic in the area to allow firefighters to control the blaze. Osler firefighters were called back to the scene Sunday evening to put out some hotspots that re-ignited. Company owner Dave

Neufeld watched fire crews for most of the morning from across the road as they worked feverishly to save the building. Neufeld said his company, which was launched in 2008, employs nine people. Close to 35 firefighters using seven units from the two communities fought the fire. Martensville Fire Department personnel assisted by filling air tanks for both departments. Since the wind was from the west and blowing across Highway 11, no health danger was present from the acrid smoke as it billowed from the building. Officials from the provincial fire commissioner’s office are investigating the cause of the blaze.

All of us are here because we want to work to keep Dalmeny fantastic.” Two women were elected to council. While concern had been expressed about gender balance on council, outgoing councillor Matt Bradley said in a separate interview that no women had actually run for council since 2003. One of those women elected to council, Anna-Marie Zoller, gained the highest number of votes for any candidate, mayoral or otherwise, at 418. A couple of men from the previous council that were really strong contributors are back, Kroeker said. “We also have four new faces around the table. It’s interesting we don’t have anyone left on council with more than one term of experience. And those of us with one term are outnumbered by those that are completely brand new. So I’d say we are a fairly newish council and what I see is a message from voters that they wanted to shake things up.” He noted that there is quite a representative mixture of the community on council now. “If there’s any demographic that’s underrepresented on our council now, which hasn’t been the case for years, it’s the seniors.” Klassen noted on a Facebook post, “The face of our new council is great to see. We now have much more balanced demographic representation.” He promised not to disappear and will “continue to strive to be a voice” in the community. Kroeker’s plans for addressing a range of issues were rolled out on his mayoral Facebook page during the campaign. They not only addressed taxes and local improvements, but also asset management, responsible and sustainable growth, continued investment in CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Families enjoy school literacy picnic By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Cushions and blankets are musthaves for any picnic and Prairie View School’s (PVS) literacy picnic was no exception. During Family Literacy Time on Octoer 20, parents brought a lunch and families settled in to read over the noon hour at the school. Vice Principal, Lesa Heath, says the school is into its fourth year for the literacy event and they’ve had great success with it. “It is wonderful to see so many parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles, and preschool age siblings participating in this reading celebration.” The event is held twice a year - in fall to coincide with Education Week and in spring when the weather is fine and families can take their picnic outdoors. “At Prairie View School, we work hard to create and maintain a culture of literacy and this is just one event that we do to encourage reading,” said Heath. The goal is to engage parents and families in reading and in their students reading and welcoming them into the school. Students see and hear others reading, gain greater understanding of

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca When Jon Kroeker went doorknocking during his mayoral campaign, the main issues he heard about from Dalmeny residents were already top of mind for him – things like taxes and local improvement projects. Now that he’s elected, he’s keen to begin addressing those issues. “I feel pretty honoured to get the support from people in town,” said Kroeker. “There’s a lot of things that came out in the election and we want to put some of those into practice.” Also running for mayor of Dalmeny was Wade Klassen, who became vocal in the community earlier this year when a local improvement project was proposed by town council. Kroeker garnered 339 votes over Klassen’s 229, and was pleased to see voter turnout was higher in this election. “Wade pushed me pretty hard and I give him credit for the campaign he ran. He and I had spoken before the election and we had both assured each other that we were going to run clean campaigns and we did,” Kroeker said. Klassen and three others ran on a similar platform, and two of that group were elected to council. Kroeker said this election was a bit more divisive than previous ones in Dalmeny. “There was a team of candidates and it was often perceived as

So I’d say we are a fairly newish council and what I see is a message from voters that they wanted to shake things up.” He noted that there is quite a representative mixture of the community on council now. “If there’s any demographic that’s underrepresented on our council now, which hasn’t been the case for years, it’s the seniors.” Klassen noted on a Facebook post, “The face of our new council is great to see. We now have much more balanced demographic representation.” He promised not to disappear and will “continue to strive to be a voice” in the community. Kroeker’s plans for addressing a range of issues were rolled out on his mayoral Facebook page during the campaign. They not only addressed taxes and local improvements, but also asset management, responsible and sustainable growth, continued investment in CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Parents, grandparents and siblings of Prairie View School students join in for Family Literacy Time, picnic style over lunch.

Families enjoy school literacy picnic By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Cushions and blankets are musthaves for any picnic and Prairie View School’s (PVS) literacy picnic was no exception. During Family Literacy Time on Octoer 20, parents brought a lunch and families settled in to read over the noon hour at the school. Vice Principal, Lesa Heath, says the school is into its fourth year for the literacy event and they’ve had great success with it. “It is wonderful to see so many parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles, and preschool age siblings participating in this reading celebration.” The event is held twice a year - in fall to coincide with Education Week and in spring when the weather is fine and families can take their picnic outdoors. “At Prairie View School, we work hard to create and maintain a culture of literacy and this is just one event that we do to encourage reading,” said Heath. The goal is to engage parents and families in reading and in their students reading and welcoming them into the school. Students see and hear others reading, gain greater understanding of

on the rocks.

what they read, have meaningful conversations about it and discover that reading is for enjoyment as well as education. They also discover that reading can help us visualize what we imagine and take us to other places in our minds. The Family Literacy Time takes over the school at lunch hour. All the teachers and Educational Assistants are involved. If some par-

ents aren’t able to make it, teachers pair up the students, and tour around doing reading and connecting with parents. This literacy event is just one among many others at Prairie View School designed to build that culture of literacy. Heath said they are already looking forward to their Spring Family Literacy Time.

New Martensville Co-op offers refunds for tax glitch By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A technical glitch at the new Martensville Co-op Food Store caused their systems to charge extra tax late last week. Some shoppers were quick to take notice and raised questions on social media with some posting photos of receipts. The new store opened their doors on October 28. “There was a glitch for a couple hours one night on the system,” said operations manager Harley McClughan. “We’re not sure what caused the glitch to happen. But, it was brought to the manager’s attention and she addressed it and

got it taken care of.” McClughan hasn’t seen a glitch of this nature before. “I have no explanation. It’s beyond me. I guess that’s why we have technical support,” he said. He confirmed the system was charging eight per cent PST instead of five per cent. The snafu generated dozens of comments on the Martensville Community Facebook page on November 1 and trickled into November 2, with a range of speculation, as well as a Tax Guide posting. “It was an actual glitch. So if anybody that is affected was to bring their receipt back we would correct that,” said McClughan.

Taxes, red tape among concerns for small business

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Small businesses and consumers will be the big losers in the federal Liberal government’s plan to implement a carbon tax, according to local business leaders. During a roundtable discussion in Martensville on Monday, November 7 with Kelly Block, Member of Parliament for Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek, members of the Martensville and Warman Chambers of Commerce voiced their concerns about federal economic policies and regulations. At the top of the list was the impending carbon tax, followed closely by the increase in Canada Pension Plan (CPP) payroll deductions. These initiatives will increase the cost of doing business and ultimately cost consumers more – and may also result in the loss of some jobs – according to many of the business owners at the meeting. Block is currently in the midst of a fall tour of communities in

her riding and is reaching out to business and community leaders, as well as ordinary citizens. “I’m looking to get feedback from stakeholders about the impact of government policies,” said Block. “As a member of the Opposition party in Parliament, it’s our duty to hold the government to account, and this information that we’re gathering as part of these discussions is important because it allows us to do our job, which is speaking on behalf of Canadians.” Block said many of the concerns raised at the 90-minute meeting in Martensville were similar to comments she has heard at her weekly regional caucus meetings. “We try and keep our finger on the pulse of our ridings and the province as a whole,” said Block. “My colleagues are reporting many of the same comments that I’m hearing here today.” Chamber members who are working in the field of real estate said the recent changes to regu-

lations for home buyers with less than a 20 per cent down payment on a home have negatively impacted the marketplace. “The new rules have taken away a lot of purchasing power and caused a lot of stress,” said Elise Hildebrandt, a mortgage broker and president of the Warman Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a huge concern.” Other business owners at the table are vehemently opposed to a carbon tax being implemented in Canada when the rest of the world is standing pat or even rescinding the scheme. Unless the playing field is levelled, businesses in this country will be at a major disadvantage competitively due to higher input costs and operating expenses. The federal Conservative Party is holding a leadership debate in Saskatoon on Wednesday, November 9. Block said there is a large field of candidates in the running and it promises to be a healthy exercise in democracy.

losing city’s mayor wear the victorious team’s jersey at the next city council meeting. Both mayors had no hesitation putting their civic pride on the line. “I think it would be great,” said Muench. “It’s a terrific suggestion,” added Spence. The Warman Wolverines are the defending 2015 3A nine-man provincial champions. They have made it to the provincial gold medal game three out of the last four years. The Martensville Royals, meanwhile, made the provincial playoffs for the first time last season, and have had a very strong playoff run this year.

Royals clinch semi-final home date cial semi-final playoff game on Saturday, November 5 against the Melfort Comets at 1:00 p.m. in Martensville. Royals head coach Lyle Evanisky said the victory in Esterhazy was the result of a total team effort. “This was another impressive effort by all of the guys on both sides of the ball,” said Evanisky. “ Our defence kept them off the scoreboard and our offence was able to control the ball and score when we needed it.” He noted the team has been “leaning on a core

group of players that keep getting better each week, Conor McKay and Ethan Moran were able to connect for a passing touchdown again while Keegan Lussier ran the ball well behind a hard-working offensive line.” Evanisky said the Royals only dressed 18 players for the game in Esterhazy. “We’re very banged up and have been all season,” he said. “Lots of the guys are just playing through nagging injuries right now.” Evanisky said the upcoming game against Melfort,

traditionally one of the high school football powerhouses in the province, will be a big challenge. But, he added, they’ll be up for it. “Right now we’re letting the guys enjoy our team’s first win in a provincial playoff game,” he said. “The coaches will get together in the next few days and map out a game plan for the players when we get together for our first practice this week.” If the Royals win this weekend, they’ll be in the provincial championship final on November 12.

Warman comes up big against Humboldt

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Warman Wolverines punched their ticket to the provincial high school football semi-finals with an impressive 42-20 win over the visiting Humboldt Mohawks on Saturday, October 29 in Warman. But it wasn’t easy. Nor was the final score a true picture of the see-saw battle on the field. “We knew they were going to play us tough, and they did,” said Wolverines head coach Tyler Scheidt after the game. “They have a veteran team and a lot of size and they came at us hard. “But our kids responded and they showed a lot of character. They battled back and came out on top.” The Mohawks drew first blood midway through the opening quarter with an eight-yard touchdown run by Jordan Seipp, who emerged as one of the big guns for Humboldt during the game. It was the first time this season the Wolverines had allowed the opposition to open the scoring. After that wake-up call, though, the Warman offence stepped it up a notch. Wolverines quarterback Tristen Denis hit receiver Nick Fehr with a 31-yard pass and run play along the sidelines for Warman’s first touchdown. The successful convert by Adrian Wittmaier gave the Wolverines a slim 7-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. Warman running back Joe Tahn carried the mail for most of the opening quarter until a helmet-tohelmet collision took him out of the game. The team’s depth paid off as other players filled the

breach. Lachlan Horsley finished off two successful Warman drives in the early going of the second quarter with touchdown catches to give the host team a 21-6 lead. But Humboldt’s Tyson Earis returned an interception for a touchdown just before half-time to make it 2112. Warman running back Kalen Beaulac, who handled most of the ground-game duties, punched in a major in the third quarter, giving his team a 28-12 margin. A big goal-line stand by the Warman defense in the late stages of the third quarter kept the Mohawks at bay, but in the fourth quarter, the Mohawks seemed to get their second wind. Quarterback Morgan Gobeil finished off a successful long drive with a two-yard touchdown run to make it 28-20. After that it was all Warman, as Beaulac scored his second touchdown of the game with five minutes left in regulation time. But the final score was the most entertaining for the crowd, and showed that you have to be good to be lucky. After taking over on downs, the Wolverines moved the ball down to the Mohawks 6-yard line but were unable to punch it in. With less than a minute left to play, a field goal attempt by Wittmaier was blocked by a Mohawks defender, but the ball went high in the air and was batted by a couple times before ending up in the hands of Warman defensive back Simon Shabaga. It was a live ball and a legal catch, and Shabaga had the CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

GEM girls matter and they know it By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca They sat on bar stools in a semicircle with heads turned upward, faces hidden behind warm facecloths. It was the sigh at the end of the school day, one part of a semiluxurious spa experience to enjoy with friends. They’re GEM girls, increasingly aware that Girls Everywhere Matter. They come together once a month to build relationships and build their own self-esteem and confidence in being a girl, says their leader, Kelli White. “Any girl in grade six to 12 is welcome to come,” said White, a teacher and learning facilitator at the school. “Sometimes we do special things like going bowling, or at Christmas the girls had a little gift exchange among themselves.” It’s a ‘come when you can’ arrangement and White says, they come. The group talks about what it means to be beautiful and works to dispel the myth of trying to be perfect. White says girls definitely need supports like this. “They are so bombarded in social media. That’s one of the other big things we discuss: digital citizenship,” said White. They talk about what they should post and what they should not post. They explore how the media can make you feel like you have to look a certain way or be a certain way. “We deconstruct media messages together,” said White. “It’s a really special group and sometimes the

boys are upset that they can’t be in it.” It’s hard to imagine boys doing the facecloth routine, but there’s a lot to admire about a group like GEM. Their spa was facilitated by Chris Woods of Woods Body Goods in Aberdeen. Woods was thrilled to be invited to do the spa with GEM, and felt it was a great fit with her own priorities. Woods recently published a book with a compilation of hand-made

skincare and body care recipes and tips on how to do your own natural spa. She has given over 300 parties where girls get to make their own products, and felt she had enough material for her book. It was available to GEM for $10. Two students, Mackenzie and Daria, contributed to the book. The girls also learn about the plight of girls in other parts of the world. GEM has a partnership with a group called Little Women for Lit-

tle Women in Afghanistan, which raises funds and awareness for girls’ education in that country. White said the girls keep journals. “We ask them to do some writing, including poetry. Hopefully in a couple of years we’ll have our own little book to publish. That’s the goal.” The identity of the group continues to evolve. But at the core, the sense of belonging the girls feel is the gel that makes it work.

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Set against natural country landscapes, the Blackstrap Art Studio Tour offers a pre-summer escape from the city for a unique experience of art outside a gallery. More than twenty artists who work within various media and genres will be stationed at five different stops. The tour is celebrating its tenth anniversary and features live demonstrations. The self-drive tour starts at Bluebird Hills Farm, eight kilometres south of Saskatoon, where Marian Janzen’s acrylic paintings are imbued with the light of the prairies.

Joining Janzen at her home are two women whose combined skills cover quilt art, water colour and costume design. Irish dancing costumes will be on site. At Muirhead Studios, another eight kilometres south, Elizabeth Muirhead presents landscapes, seascapes and abstracts done in fiber art while her architect husband, John Cope, has returned to painting with oil, acrylic and ink. The tour stops in Dundurn, where you’ll meet an outdoor sculpture artist, photographer, art restorer, jewelry designer and quilter and then veers off to Hiebert’s Hot Shop at Shields,

Blackstrap, where the skills of glass artists, a sculptor, painter, potters and a bird carver are on display. Janzen said the art is typically of a high skill level. “My studio is kind of an elitist situation because I paint in my kitchen,” she laughed. Janzen’s paintings have fetched up to a couple thousand dollars while others go for a hundred or two. Janzen began painting four years ago after the loss of her husband to cancer left her feeling empty. “I needed to paint to save my life because when I lost my husband,

I lost my world,” she said. “I decided I had a choice at that time, to jump in a hole and pull it in after me, or I could invent a new life,” she said. Janzen had been a teacher for 32 years. She went to the University of Saskatchewan and got a Certificate of Art & Design (USCAD). The program is run by professional working artists but its emphasis is on technique rather than the emotional component of art.

BATH BOMBS

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

After making bath bombs, GEM girls in Aberdeen put hot cloths on top of their facial masks as part of a a spa-like experience for their regular after school gathering once a month

1 cup citric acid 1.5 cups baking soda ½ cup milk powder 1 tsp. olive oil Mix everything together with your hands. Then, using a spray bottle filled with water, start spraying as you squeeze the powders together. Eventually the powders will feel moist, barely wet enough to hold together when you try to make a ball. That’s the tricky part – knowing when its just wet enough to hold together and not crumble. Don’t worry - after a couple of rounds you’ll have the perfect technique for this. --Woods Body Goods
